Rules Regarding New Online Poker Accounts ?

zeeman · Oct 27, 2005

I have a friend who's very good at poker. He already has an account. My question is can I open a new account in my name, fund with my netteller, but my friend will be playing on my account from his computer. Will the poker room allow this?

He'll Have My Password. Do You Think The Poker Room Will Question Why 2 Different Accounts Use The Same Computer "ip Address". Basically I'm Investing In My Friend. I Will Be Staking Him, I Opened An Account In My Name That He Will Be Using.

I'm not so sure....for 1 thing if your "friend" is on the beginners tables at Party im pretty sure their not going to like that....if he's in the $5000 new player freeroll im pretty sure they not going to like that either...AND if for even 1 second both those accounts are logged into the same table of any game you expect both accounts to be closed and the balances forfeited....

this smells like fish to me...y would he close his "shop" to run yours? this guy likes you so much he's willing to win you money when he could be winning it himself? i dont think so......i gotta feeling he's heading for those beginners tables...and straight into trouble.....
